Comments:

Ran this alongside Jeff. I forgot to write a race report right away, so this is from memory. I think I wasn't feeling sharp that day.. I had food poisoning the weekend before and wasn't fully recovered yet. While the weather was ok for us, I felt like running a normal pace was difficult. Jeff doesn't help, because he tends to run faster than he's in shape for and pull me along with him. We were still able to suck it up and hold our pace pretty well over most of it. At the end, Jeff was able to pick it up for a hard finish but I lagged behind (if I recall, my stomach was a little upset). I felt pretty awful afterward, like I'd spent all the energy I had on the race -which, since I'd felt awful and drained all week, was likely true.
What would you do differently?:

I don't remember any specific flaws. Don't have food poisoning, I guess.

A nice little local 5K in a great location.
